Roy Orbison‘s MGM catalog is set to be reissued in a 152-track box set, along with an unreleased album recorded in 1969.

The MGM Years box set will feature all 11 studio albums the late musician recorded for MGM after leaving Monument Records.

Rating for both: 4 out of 5 stars

Resurrected by his sons, Orbison’s astounding vocal gifts are once again on display, reaffirming his status as the greatest singer in rock history. In September, Roy’s Boys and Legacy re-released In Dreams-The Greatest Hits, originally released in ’87. Orbison had re-recorded the material, but had changed nothing but the quality of the work, putting it out in stereo this time. Alex and Roy Kelton and Wesley Orbison, the singer’s surviving sons, (Anthony and Roy Dewane perished in a fire in ’68) formed Roy’s Boys after the death of their father’s wife Barbara to preserve and distribute the Orbison catalog with the help of Sony and Universal.
